Collective Haul: Topshop, Asos, Jeffrey Campbell

Spiked Litas - Jeffrey Campbell/Revovle Clothing

Striped Jeans - Motel Rocks/Asos

Bracelets, spiked slippers, tunic, scarf - Topshop

All right, so today I want to show you some of the things I've bought in the last month or so. I gave in and bought the spiked Litas. They're just perfect, I can't even. I'll be doing outfits asap, so for now the collage will have to do. And yeah, clearly, I have an addiction to Topshop, but I don't care ;)

But I also want to show you, what I picked up today from Topshop, because I just quickly popped by to see if anything new had gone on sale - you know, you gotta be quick if you want the good stuff, haha - and this dress had gone on sale.

By Unique

I have been eyeing this mofo for so long! I absolutely love it. The print is so unique (no pun intended), the silk is so soft and overall just downright awesome! I always thought it was too expensive (originally 1299DKK, then 999DKK, then finally 599DKK in the sale) and that it would not flatter my bodytype.

But when I was in there today, I thought "All right, let's just try it on for fun, just to get a good laugh". They didn't even have my size, but they had one size down. So I tried that on and I was all "Damnit, this fits and it looks good, crap! Now I have to buy it" and so I did. It is a bit long on me as I'm only about 163cm tall, but I don't mind. Here's what it looks like on a tall model:

I tried it on with this:

Though, I'll probably pair it with some chunky sandals when it gets warmer.

Haul/Review: LUSH

A lovely parcel just arrived

First look inside

All right, so I got a little tired of being out of the loop. Bloggers and vloggers alike are all talking about this LUSH business and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. So I went ahead and placed an order on lush.co.uk, as I don't know of any stores stocking them here in Denmark.


I'm not the type of person to use a lot of beauty products. I have a select few products that I use daily and I rarely stray from them. It's not like they're the best products ever, it's more of "gets the job done without causing allergic reactions"-thing I have going on with them. But I decided to venture out and try something new, allured by the catchy descriptions and the anticipation of the delightful scents.

My order all neatly packed

Here is what I ordered (prices are on the website):

• Sympathy for the Devil - Hand & Body Lotion
• Happy Hippy - Shower Gel (100g)
• Rock Star - Soap
• Mask of Magnaminty - Face mask (125g)

 I'll go through them one by one.

Sympathy for the Devil - Hand & Body Lotion

This lotion has bananas, cocoa butter and vanilla in it with just a touch of sandalwood. I really like the scent of this one and I think it is one of the best moistruizers I've tried. I would definitely repurchase this one!

Mask of Magnaminty - Face mask

All right, so this one is actually making me hungry. It smells so delicious! It has peppermint in it, so it makes me think of mint chocolate, yum! It feels so refreshing on the skin. It dries within the five to ten minutes. I love how my skin feels afterwards. I tried it one evening and it felt so nice, I had to put it on again the following day. I'll try to limit myself to twice a week, although, it's hard, I tell ya ;)

 

Happy Hippy - Shower Gel

 I'm really into pink grapefruit scents at the moment. This one is just so refreshing to use in the shower. Love it!

Rock Star - Soap

This sweet candy scented soap is quite lovely, actually. It is quite fragrant when it's just lying there in the soapdish, but it's not at all overpowering on your hands, which is a huge plus in my book. I really like this one too!



Also got the Lush Times which is, among other things, a brochure of all their products and their ingredients. Very handy!

Altogether, these products are a bit pricier than the ones I usually use, keeping in mind that the £8 postage as well, but they're definitely worth it. It's definitely not my last visit to the Lush website!

Haul: Wet''n'Wild

A while back I got this palette from nelly.com by wet'n'wild and I absolutlely love it. I've been using it almost everyday for two months or so. Naturally, I was super excited when I saw that Bilka had started stocking this brand. Their products are super cheap and the quality is surprisingly good. I picked up this lot:

Lipstick - Rosebud
Nail polish - Sparked
Blush - Heather Silk
Eyeshadow palette - Comfort Zone



Sparked

There were several beautiful glitter nailpolishes in the shop and I'm kind of hooked on glitter these days, so it was hard to restrain myself, but I settled on this pink glitter polish. Love the colour and I think it works well on its own, but can also be used for layering on top of a base coat.

I love palettes and I especially love these palettes from wet'n'wild. The colours are so well put together. They all match and yet you can still achieve many different looks. My favourites from this palette are the first three colours in the first column. The reason I got the other pink/purple palette first was that I was afraid these brown tones would be too boring, but the lustre finish looks really nice without being over the top.

Heather silk

This blush is very pigmented, so use with a light hand i.e. not the accompanying applicator. I love the colour and it's become my daily blush.

I really like the feel of this lipstick on my lips. It doesn't feel cakey or too sticky. It has a really nice matte finish, which is the reason I got it. I thought it would be a little more pink when I picked it up, just from what it looked like under the lights in the store, but it's more of a warm muted red, so yeah, it's probably not for everyone - colourwise. I can only wear it with warm toned makeup. But it lasts for a long time and it has really good coverage, so it's definitely worth checking out.

All in all, it's definitely not the last time I've browsed the wet'n'wild stand.
